Flanked by two smaller figures with equally silver hair and golden eyes, the muscular frame of Shisou Ryoku exited the pseudo capitol building of Tanzaku Gai. Most people considered it to be the capital of Hi no Kuni, but it was in fact a fake. One that was executed remarkably, and Ryoku doubted that there were very many people who knew it was fake -- But a fake nontheless.
He stepped out into the bustling streets of Tanzaku Gai, his companions stepping up beside him to speak with him about the money they had just received. It wasn't as much as it should have been, but if they'd tried to argue it the Shisou funds would have swiftly dwindled due to lack of payment. This was what happened when a single clan worked under it's own power, unfortunately.
Still, they would make do. This would go to the clan coffers, with a percentage of it going to the team that had performed the duties. His companions were speaking to him of the money, though he silenced them with a wave of his hand. It wasn't wise to groan about that which could not, or would not, be changed.
"Our clan is a young one, and we put ourselves up against the Uchiha and the Hyuga, clans far older than our own. It is expected that they will not acknowledge our might. This is why we move our compound every few weeks, so those who do not respect our might will not be able to attack in the dead of night."
His statement drew sighs and nods from the two younger Shisou, but he knew they understood. It was a youthful sense of justice that made them speak, not ignorance. "Tell me, Sanji..." He spoke to the young Shisou on his right. "How goes your training? I understand you're attempting to master the naginata, as opposed to the katana your father taught you."
The boy went on about his lessons then, and Ryoku had successfully distracted them from the issue of money as they walked through the streets of Tanzaku Gai...
